Why Choose CPaMB To Be Your FQHC/CHC Medical Billing Company?

CPa Medical Billing is one of the leading FQHC/CHC medical billing companies helping many health centers achieve optimized workflows for collecting the highest reimbursements in the shortest amount of time. We’re also well versed at handling applicable regulations and intricacies associated with health center billing.

CPaMB is owner operated and aims to create a close relationship while becoming your billing partner and a true extension of your office. Our staff becomes your staff, and we’ll maintain consistent contact (by phone, email, video conference and site-visits) and encourage regularly scheduled meeting intervals (weekly, bi-monthly, monthly).

Results Oriented

CPa medical billing operates different than most billing departments and medical billing companies, and this is partly because CPaMB does not have general billers. Our staff is composed of experts assigned to only one specific component within the revenue cycle, and this ensures that our work is always performed at the highest level and best practices.

Doing the math, the difference between a general biller and an expert is significant. For example, a general biller might perform payment posting one day of the week, which equates to approx. 400 hours per year. In a specialist setting, we have a payment poster that performs payment posting all day, every day; so in one year this equates to 2,000 hours, which is 5x more experience than a general biller within a one-year timeframe.

Expand these equations to our typical staff person who has at least 3 years of specialized experience, and this now equates to 15x more experience than a general biller!

How Your CHC/FQHC Can Get Started Working With CPaMB

One way we start working with health centers is to sit-in on their weekly or monthly calls and offer help (when asked) to questions related to health center billing, coding and provider credentialing.

Most centers we engage with typically say they are doing OK, but it’s been proven that our client’s net collections improve by an average of 45% after our assessments and assistance. This improvement in net collections generates lots of extra profits to reinvest into enriching current community programs and/or starting new ones.

Oftentimes our first engagement is working with a specific payor, or providing a dedicated A/R effort to save claims from not reaching timely filing.

The CPaMB team is also well-known for our revenue cycle management consulting services, which typically entails overviews of your facility’s current revenue cycle processes. This can include an analysis of workflows, accounts receivable, fee schedules, software setup/configuration, and recovery services for accounts receivable.

We also provide coaching and training to revenue cycle management teams, billing and coding teams, as well as providers.
